Year-round Community Theater in Wolfeboro, New Hampshire
When the Soady clan reunites for the opening day of deer season at the family’s Upper Peninsula camp, thirty-five-year-old Reuben Soady brings with him the infamous reputation of being the oldest Soady in the history of the Soadys never to bag a buck. In a hunting story to beat all hunting stories, ESCANABA IN DA MOONLIGHT spins a hilarious tale of humor, horror and heart as Reuben goes to any and all lengths to remove himself from the wrong end of the family record book.

A Little about us
For over forty years The Village Players have been entertaining with comedy, mysteries, song and dance, and plays that make you stop and think. Each year we present two or three plays, and a full-scale musical. We own and maintain our theater building, an 1880s structure originally built as a church. With extensive renovation and tender care, we have turned it into a comfortable air-conditioned theater with tiered seating, and theatrical lighting and sound systems. There are innumerable ways to get involved in The Village Players from acting, to set building to costume design, to managing ushers and box office. Community theater gets teens away from their screens, keeps the older folks actively engaged in work, and welcomes a range of talents, educational backgrounds, and life experiences. All ages mix in our productions, and theater people make lots of new friends!
Thank you to our sponsors
The Village Players are the grateful recipients of a grant from the New Hampshire Charitable Foundation’s Bellis Family Fund. With these funds, we have purchased and installed LED stage lighting, which will improve the artistic presentation of our productions, save on energy costs, and keep our actors cool on stage!
